The fpa and fea device
drivers provide support for the DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller and
the DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI Controller, respectively. All variants of
either controller are supported including the DAS and SAS
configurations.

DIAGNOSTICS

fea%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does
not match device’s actual IRQ (%d) The device probe
detected that the DEFEA board is configured for a different
interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration
file.

fea%d: error: memory
not enabled! ECU reconfiguration required The device
probe found that no device memory had been configured on the DEFEA.
Although the DEFEA can be configured with no device memory, this
driver requires a minimum of 1K device memory to be set up. The ECU
(EISA Configuration Utility) will need to be run to change the
settings.

CAVEATS

Normally, the device driver will not
enable the reception of SMT frames. However if the IFF_LINK1 flag
is set, the device driver will enable the reception of SMT frames
and pass them up to the Berkeley Packet Filter for processing.
